8 - How I think of life

"Regression"

re·gres·sion

rəˈɡreSH(ə)n/

noun

1. 1.

   a return to a former or less developed state.
2. 
   

Many people say that when you face all your problems now, you will no longer have problems in the future. Many people think that a sad soul will always lead to a sad life. But does any of us notice that, we would be so happy in a number of days, but after that, we'd be extremely sad. It's like, the amount of happiness that we felt was equal to the amount of pain that we will feel. Somehow, life always finds a way to balance things. God finds a way to balance things.

Imagine that your life is a roller coaster ride that only goes up. Yeah it is exciting, but it won't be exciting for long. Imagine your life is a roller coaster ride that only goes down. Scary, exciting, but don't you want to go up sometimes? So when you think that life is unfair, that life is shit, that life is happiness, think again. 

If you know what regression means (see definition above), then you probably know what I'm talking  about. Life can't be all good or all bad. Like ying and yang, how it show's equality between positive or negative. Life always finds a way to go back to the middle. Everything is equal. So you can't just say that life is unfair. Life is fair, you're just not open to facing your problems.

I didn't take this from juju stuff. Or superstition thingys. I got this thought just by staring at the wall for a looong time. So everyday, live your life like you're expecting it to be "the best day" of your life or "The worst day" of your. Expect problems and expect rewards.

7 - Save The Elephants

"Preserve The Elephants"

So as you can see, I am calling out to everyone, specially those environmentalist and animal lovers, to please please please be aware of what is happening to the elephant species right now. During the 1970's, there were almost a million elephants roaming around the world. They're very cute and very cool. They are known for their ivory tusk that people turn into accessories or utensils or sometimes they eat it. Well because of these tusks, people have abused the elephants. They kill them just to take their tusks away. Imagine a world without those cute elephants from those documentaries that could make you cry.


I have this huge heart for animals. I have 8 dogs, 2 birds, and 3 cats. Well they're not in one house but I still love animals! In movies, whenever a dog or a cat or a pet dies, I cry and bawl like a baby. Animals can show us love. Sometimes animals can love us better that a human can. but my point is save these elephants because from more than a million, it all went down to below  500,000 elephants. Imagine that, within 4 decades, their species decreased in half. As I said, WE SHOULD BE ALARMED.



So if you're thinking  "Does she think blogging about this and us reading would help those elephants?" My answer would be, yeah. Well, somehow. That is why I'm introducing you to a shop, an online shop that sells clothes, this shop is called "Ivory Ella". They will donate 10% of their profit to help save the elephants. Not only will you help the elephants, you will also look very damn cute. If you don't want to buy, you can directly donate to savetheelephants.org/

Every single cent will go to wild life centers to help save the elephants, to give them shelter, food, health aid and basically a safer world to live in.

So please people, help the elephants. Because they're cute and they're big and with out them, the world and the animal kingdom will never ever be complete.

6 - My Advice For All The Girls And The Boys

"Don’t Just Try To Let Go. LET GO."

            As teenagers, we love someone so much that we are in love with the idea of being in love not even reality could turn our minds. Even though they hurt us, even though the truth is just right in front of us, it doesn’t matter. We won’t listen. We won’t even tap on to the idea because the truth hurts. What we have, what we see and what we know wouldn’t make a difference. This person means everything to you and you would do anything and everything to be in your well-defined reality forever. 

            But maybe things aren’t aligning to what you want right now. Maybe it’s really NOT meant to be. What if it’s really time to let go?

            You are hurt, in pain and everyone knows. Your heart, crushed into million little pieces. But still you wouldn’t.  You just can’t.

            A million reasons are still holding your heart to him/her. How could you? It’s their smile that brightens up your bad day. One message or text from them and your heart just races. Those simple “Good morning! :)” and “What are you up to?” can turn your frown upside down. When everything just messes with your head, one call can change everything. It’ll all fall back into place again.

            With all that, you cannot deny that it is all the same. The truth has changed everything and there’s no erasing in your mind. Yes, your love might be incomparable, but right now isn’t the right time. It isn’t easy. It never was and it never will. “It hurts but it would hurt more to stay”.

            Holding on is one big move. It takes a huge piece of your bravery to love, but it takes more courage and strength to let go and end the story. But don’t worry, there’s a lot of time in the world. Time will put back all those broken pieces and make you whole again for another attempt to begin again.

5 - Reflecting on a book

"The First Phone Call From Heaven By Mitch Albom"

In this world, everyone has a story to tell. Whether these stories are about life, about love, or about a miracle.  In this human world, it is constant that the story of one’s great doing would spread throughout world. One shocking event could be heard by others. After reading Mitch Albom’s “The First Phone Call From Heaven” I have come across of one thought that the stories that live among us can reach to others that connects us with one another.

            These stories connect us throughout the world. Words spread like lightning. It spreads and we don’t even know it. In the book, Tess Raff

erty, Jack Sellers, Katherin Yellin, and Sullivan Harding all shared one story, one phenomenon that shocked not only them, but the whole town. As this miracle was exposed, every person who lost a loved one is expecting a call from heaven in Coldwater.

            Love is what keeps us together in this cruel yet wonderful world. If it wasn’t for love, we wouldn’t have hope. Like the citizens from Coldwater, they all hoped to be called by their departed loved one from the other side because they simply love and miss them. Love is something that is wonderfully created by God for us to share not to those who are only familiar to us, but also to those who seem impossible love.

We should never build a wall or boundary or set limits to who we’re supposed to love. We should break not only our walls but also theirs to widely spread the love that will keep us together and make our bonds stronger.

            These stories of love and hope connect us in ways that others will hear and see. We share these stories to others; they share these stories throughout the world. Others who will hear will relate, and magically a connection is made. Life may set us apart but love is made to hold us together.

4 - THE BEST BOOK EVER

"Every Day by David Levithan"

One of my hobbies or one of the many things I do to pass my time is to read books or blogs and magazines and articles. When I read, I make sure that I get something from what I read or at least feel something. There would be books where i could see myself in the characters or sometimes i could see myself n a certain situation in a book. When I read a good book, I can finish 1 book in 1 seating. Sometimes when the book is so freakin' long, I take about a week or two. And I know my books, specially when it's about romance /sci-fi / comedy.

I've been hearing about this book for 3 months before I bought and read it. They told me it was not worth reading, some said it was boring. A friend of mine dared me to read it because he knows how bored I easily get when I read a boring book. I wanted to prove to him that I can finish the book so I started reading Every Day. Every Day started off with the main character "A" waking up in another person's body and living his or her life for just 1 day. Apparently he wakes up in a guy's body named Justin who has this typical teenage life. "A" then started his day doing what Justin always do. When he got to school he met Justin's girlfriend Rhiannon who feels that Justin doesnt love her back. "A" basically can return to memories and information about what this person knows. 

I'm a girl, a little hopeless romantic. I like it when the girl or guy waits for the love of their lives. I like it when they feel pain, but in the end it's them who wins the guy or girl. I like underdogs. I like people who sacrifices. "A" fell in love with Rhiannon, but he doesnt know what to beacause he won't be able to remain in her life or at least be near her since he transfers to another body everyday. So he basically did everything to get to talk to her. Travel for hours even if he was miles and miles away just to get to her.

Every Day has taught me a lot of things. When it come to living your life, you should live it day by day without regreting the things you do good and the things you do bad. When it comes to problems, problem will always be problems and they will laways stay in our lives. We solve one, another one comes again. When it comes to love, when you love someone, you would want what's best for them, you'll do everything for them, you'll sacrifice for his or her happiness, even if he or she is your happiness.

3 - The One I Lost

"Come back to me"

Ever lost something that is really really important to you? Something that you're used to being with it every single day? Something that helps you survive everyday and helps you to shut the world and creating a peaceful one for yourself? Well unfortunately I've experienced  great loss today (for 2 dys till now)


So i lost something that I have been very VERY careful with ever since I bought it. I lost my GOD DAMN EARPHONES. I've had it for over a year. I have saved most of my money just to buy my earphones (which was hella expensive). And now, now I've lost the most important thing to me. I get mad every time someone touches it. I get mad every damn time someone takes it without asking me. I get mad every time my sisters use it. I was very very careful of it.

I lost it 2 days ago. I was getting ready for school and I picked it up and put it on my bed. I was in a hurry so I got my bag and phone, but i left my earphones. I got in the car and my dad started to drive. When we got to EDSA I looked for my earphone nd found tht it was not with me, I was contented that I left it at home. The day passed by without me worrying about it. But little did I know, when I got home and got my laptop to do my shenanigans, I COULDN'T FIND IT. I flipped every god damn bed. Looked underneath everything but still I couldn't fine it. When I lose things I get paranoid and trust me I don't like my mind every time I loose something. I think of the worst case scenarios and stuff.

I came to the point where I asked and prayed to God to lead me where my earphones are. But then I remembered something from church during a pastor preaching about a commandment " thou shall not have any idols before me". He said that one way or another, God can help us get rid of our idols if we fully commit our time to him. And maybe I thought of it in a way that, God is only testing me or telling me that he is jealous because of my earphones. So i try not to make a fuss about it.







But I mean, MY GOD PLEASE GIVE ME BACK MY EARPHONES. I cannot live without it. So this is in memory of my trusty friend. PLEASE COME BACK TO ME NOW.

2 - An Empty Heed

 "Moments Stay"

Ever sat on chair or on the floor and just start to think of memories that made us laugh and made us cry? I have had a lot of them. I even had music playing to set my mood. Every time the song changes, my mood changes as well.

There would be times where I'd think of my friends and I laughing about the most hilarious thing that they did. I'd be sitting and laughing by myself. Catching myself, I start to think about how beautiful our minds are, How our minds can store each or our memories. How in an instant thought, it could make us feel anything. How it could make us cry, laugh, laugh, and sometimes, it could make us learn from our mistakes.

Our mind stores memories. Like a disk or an SD card, it stores files. These files are memories that we've made. Memories that we have lived in. Memories that we keep for good. But there are special memories that live deep in our minds, memories that are kept close to the heart. Those are what we call MOMENTS. Remember when they say "Let's live in the moment"? It's because it either could be a once in a lifetime opportunity. A moment that you should never EVER miss.

All of us have moments that makes us smile every time we try to relive it. There are moments that are painful yet we keep in our head, and we try to take them out, but no matter what we do, we can't. There's this constant pain that would be the reminder of these moments. Every time we get hurt, our minds would have these flash backs. We'll tell ourselves "I'm over that" or "I've moved on from that". Yeah, maybe they did, but the pain and those moments will ALWAYS stay.
